Abstract: The climatic variability and trends of precipitation in Iceland are examined for the period 1961?2000 using bias-corrected rain gauge data and precipitation forecasts from the 40-yr ECMWF Re-Analysis (ERA-40). Several ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the internal spatial distribution of rain rates inside the rain areas. Moving trend functions are defined for different thresholds τ. They are obtained as conditional mathematical expectations of ...

Abstract: A linear model of orographic precipitation that includes airflow dynamics, condensed water advection, and downslope evaporation is adapted for Iceland. The model is driven using coarse-resolution 40-yr reanalysis data from ...
